Without access to paid sick time, workers in the U.S. are more likely to experience financial hardship, food insecurity and to risk working while sick. It’s why Theraflu founded the Rest & Recover Fund, to offer families microgrants that help offset the lost wages that come from taking an unpaid sick day.

Group-shot

We are committed to supporting thousands of families with over $600,000 in microgrants to help them find the rest and recovery they deserve.
